2000 F350 7.3 Powerstroke. It fricken Works! Saved me $3000 for a continuous injector SEL problem. Tried everything heavy duty fuel system cleaner on Autozone shelf. No help. Made an appointment to have injectors replaced. Looking at about $3000. Injectors for these diesels are expensive. Bought Archoil product pack based on the advice of Powerstrokehelp. Didnt expect it to help. 2 or 3 gas tanks of fuel and Archoil products. It runs perfect. The SEL has been on for a year. I reset it numerous times and it always came back on. Not even a full bottle of Archoil and it fixed it. Runs perfect!! Saved me $3000+. Never will I go without your product for the life of my Powerstroke! Thank you Powerstrokehelp and Archoil.
Bill, several months ago my 04 F 250 six liter turbo was "barking" and stumbling when I would accelerate to go up a hill etc. some research indicated it was probably soot/carbon buildup on turbo veins, probably because I dont driver her hard enough, I'm an old guy. I wanted to avoid the major exspense of a turbo teardown so I tried the Archoil extreme fuel system cleaner adding it per directions and drove the truck abount 200 miles at highway speed. It cleared up my issue in just over a tankful. I posted this same info on some other diesel sites and got alot of blowback about "snakeoil" etc. but all I can say is it worked for me, now I drive the old girl harder but still use the fuel treatment every fill up and the extreme cleaner every 5000 miles.
@@stevewhyte8476 like i said, i dont know all the whys and how this additive works, but in MY case it cleared my problem up and have had no issues since. archoil would probably be a better source of info then what i could provide on how it works, and no, i dont have fuel going through my turbo.
Well said and 100% spot on. US fuel cetane rating too low for efficient combustion. Especially for grocery getter city trucks. Guys must have deep pockets to putt around in a truck designed to work. Your additives are a necessary "must have". Like it or not Bill is right. These additives are chump change compaired to repairs either at home or god forbid 1000 miles away. Listen to experience not dealerships. Thank you Bill for your time and most of all experience. Its a pay me now or pay me big time later on. US fuels are diluted, mixed for profit. Not performance & economy. Happy Holidays to you & the crew!
Hey Bill! Love your videos, I'm an IDI guy and recently had to put a new injection pump on my truck, I can't complain as the previous pump lasted 10 years or so. Anyways I don't know how familiar you are with @ClassicDieselDesigns but they have really helped us old IDI guys by making some upgraded parts for our Rigs. Their pumps are far superior to factory pumps and any off the shelf remanufactured pumps. Hope this helps any old IDI guys like me out there.
Hey Bill, love the channel and information you provide, I've learned so much about diesel over the years thanks to you. Keep up the good work and thank you for supporting the vets!
It is a shame that Ford charges around 80,000 dollars for a diesel truck and in order for it to be dependable you have to pay Bill another 10 to 20 thousand . I love Archoil run it in everything I own.
DPF does not reduce carbon it increases it, the soot is not a greenhouse gas, also who melted the last ice age Ford or Toyota.. I have been running archoil products for 20 years.. my 7.3 runs great also use it in my ML350 2012. Started my truck in VA two nights ago 23 degrees started no problem..
Happy Thanksgiving and thank you for all the advice you put out for us powerstroke owners. Definitely a great product I've been running this stuff for years now it wasn't until just recently I did the DPF delete on my 16 F250 since diesels aren't tested where I live prior to that I couldn't tell you the last time it did a regen. I just have a very mild tune and behave with it hahaha. Especially with how you said how expensive these new trucks are, I bought my 16 F250 In 2017 I thought it was expensive then now it's WAY worse. So therefore I plan on running my 2016 F250 and 2005 chevy 2500 gasser for as long as possible.
I typically change the fuel filter every oil change and they always look 👍 , standard motorcraft products. That is until... I used the fuel system cleaner. I added it about 500miles before the oil change and it was noticeably dirty when I did the service. Should I replace the filter again around 1500 miles or should I be good at this point? I think im good but, I also think I should add a few extra filter changes (2:1) until the filter is "clean looking" at the time of scheduled service. I started using the fuel / oil additives recently (first time) and there was an almost immediate difference after adding the fuel system cleaner, way smoother at idle and a good amount of sound reduction in the injectors, maybe 20ish decibels... Worth the peace of mind!!!
I would use Archoil religiously if I could find it at my local Rural king or tractor supply, but just can't find it anywhere. I can find hotshots though
Just order it direct and its free shipping. Thats what I do and I use it religiously in my Diesel. I order it 3 times each year and use it just as he is saying here. The new bottles make adding it to the tank really easy, no funnel. I read a study that shows some diesel fuel additives actually decrease lubricity. This and Stanadyne are both highly rated. Both are hard to buy over the counter.
Good day. I lost my turbo for the second time (with in 5000 miles) and I wanted to see if this aftermarket turbo was a good quality turbo, the ATS VFR Turbocharger - 11-14 Ford 6.7L? Unfortunately my truck is DPS deleted. I am kind of regretting buying it. I was new to the diesel community when is bought the truck. Also could the delete have caused it? What is the cost to return it to factory?
3 years ago I bought an early 1999 7.3 PS F350 DRW with 220k on the clock. It was getting 11 mpg empty load. Been using Archoil religiously for 3 years, now the truck has 238k on the clock, and I get 14 mpg empty load, and it runs noticeably better. Have not done anything to the engine to affect that other than archoil additives. Far as I'm concerned this product pays for itself.
The reserves of diesel is lower than it has ever been, diesel incoming is normal at this time but if refineries were to shut down our reserve supply is not much.
Because of JB immediate anti american oil statements and policies. Kerosene that a lot of people here in the n.e. use to HEAT THEIR HOMES mia, and if U can find it >$7 a gal. Lets Go Brandon D.A.
The Democrats hate fossil fuels but they offer no viable alternative except ever more restrictions on drilling and production. Bottom line, they want to force you into an electric vehicle (then tell you due to the grid and electrical shortages not to charge it, as the California Gov. just did) which are basically terrible and you still have to generate electricity from fossil sources in most cases. They are using restrictions and regulations to force you out of your vehicle, into urban areas and on to their beloved "public transit". They will kill our country (which from our current economy is plain to see) and our standard of living if they continue to hold power. The whole thing is based on the ruse of Climate Change which has gone on naturally for thousands of years. But Democrats create a crisis, and then use fear and indoctrination propaganda to get their way. They want total control. Your freedom to move about and your self reliance are a threat to their personal control, power and ultimately their personal wealth. They couldn't care less about your personal wealth which should be glaringly visible to a blind man right now at the grocery store and the fuel pump. Democrats, liberals, progressives are exactly the opposite of what they want you to believe. They are not your friend. They are evil, anti freedom Marxists.
My personal 04 6.0 has 240k on the clock and never had any snake oil. Just EGR cooler delete, 2 injectors, HPOP, and oil cooler replaced @ 180k. Still runs great.
do I add the fuel system cleaner AND the AR6500 to the fuel tank at an oil change or just put in the fuel system cleaner and then put in the AR6500 next fill-up? I have a 6.4 and I have been running archoil for 4 years
Hi Bill, two things to say. I have a 1989 f350 with the idi 7.3 non turbo, bone stock. It’s always had a hard starting issue when cold even when the weather is warm. I’ve been through all the air leaks. Allegedly it has over 600k on the original engine. I’m wondering if you think I’d gain any benefits from archoil what with it being such a primative engine. I’ve listened to you tout it for years and figured it only benefitted the newer stuff, but would love to know what you think. Second point is that my dad bought a f250 7.3 ps new in 2002. It’s got 200k in it now and he’s run amsoil products in it from day one, along with an amsoil bypass oil filter. His truck runs like new to this day and he’s never used any fuel or oil additives in it, and he changes the oil at 10k or more. I understand that 200k in 20 years isn’t all that impressive. But the truck is heavy (rack and bumpers and such) and does get used for towing. Lots of in town driving. What’s your opinion on amsoil?
Diesel fuel in the US is "dry" i.e., it lacks lubricity. So, when you add a product like Archoil, or Hotshots Secret, it will make the fuel have better lubricity, thus better for your injection pump. Find a product and make sure to use it with each fill up.
New ones suck. All the new shit is shit. So disappointed, spend all this $ and have to add additives. But I got the big screen in the dash though! Haha. Wtf. They only get away with it cuz we keep buying. Not anymore for myself. Make less money, I have less problems. Rather work on my body than a 60000$ truck.
@@2Goldens1Rotteh I grew up around diesels. I traded in a paid off 2019f150 and got into a 1 ton lariat for a similar payment and it'll be paid off in less than 2 years. And in that time I'll had shoved 15k in my pocket. Then trade it in. All u need is a dump trailer. There is so much piddly work the big guys don't have time to do. Right up my alley.
Something I’ve learned as a dealership tech that I ain’t proud of. They’re all liars and they only care about there paycheck. If they aren’t scamming warranty they’re scamming the customer
Diesel fuel better in Europe HMMM! But then diesel cars.is also commonplace while American industries sells what they want petrol and cars. On the other hand diesels suffers from runaways on both sides.
The 7.3 will always reign supreme, no EGR, no intercooler, no DPF, no DEF to add (hah they are laughing at all the fools buying urine to dump into their truck, how stupid is that shit), just straight up raw diesel power babey!
I have both. Different beasts. 6.0 pulls way better than the 7.3, but the 7.3 is simply more reliable. You won't be the first there towing heavy, but you'll be there. The 6.0 is able to hold lower egts under harder use. My 03 7.3 has lots of work done, and just doesn't match the ability of my 04 king ranch with large custom tunes, non "Cali compliant" hardware and turbo back exhaust. Still has the factory intake even. More gears, much better trans strategy, more fuel efficient, and a smoother more quiet and refined vehicle. That said, 182 on the 6.0, 297 on the 7.3. both factory injectors. Both start great, but the 7.3 is a bit Smokey when it's well below freezing and not started in a week. No studs, big tunes daily. Zero problems so far. Gonna have to go knock on wood now.
Fort Smith is actually a nice place BUT it is not a great place to be broke down. Meridian Ms was way worse. I had to do brakes in the rain in the parking lot of Wal mart and every time I left to go to Napa or back into Wal Mart the peeps would swoop in and steal any thing that wasn't locked up or bolted down. At first I thought I was just overtired, overcaffeinated and my mind fried from the road until I caught them. What a pain in the ass. I still have a big red welded 15# sledge hammer that not only got the drums off but also got my other tools back too. I smile at my old friend every time I see it in the shop.
